Millennial slang has low-key worked its way into the modern vocabulary. And I’m totes OK about it and not shook in the least.
I’ve become a bit of an accidental student of linguistics over the last year. First, I thought it would be fun to revisit some of the slang of my youth that still creeps its way into my vocab. So I put together this list of 13 Gen-X words you probably still use. Literally. Then I got to thinking about all the Boston slang words that have transcended generations, so I put together a list of those. Wicked pissah!
Now I’m turning to the much-maligned Millennials. Unfairly maligned, I’ll add. As I hinted at above, I’m Gen-X, born in 1977. Like most of my generation, I have no beef with Millennials. And I’m constantly entertained by Boomers shaking their fists at them and writing op-eds about how their generation needs to stop buying avocado toast and start buying houses. Classic Boomer stuff.
